QW as r lx, Q, 5. n MX 2 f - f v KN ft Q W junior Prom December 10, 1948 was the night of all nights in our junior year. As we entered the gym the music of Don Tatroe's orchestra swelled from the green velvet, silver-ribboned candy box, the main attraction of the decora- tions. Across from the orchestra was a lounge fenced by large gum drops, life savers, candy corn, and candy hearts. The walls were covered by different candies designating different holi- day times of the year. The song Candy was used by the orchestra as the theme song for the occasion and everyone was regretful when the last strains of the music faded. The thought of this memorable event will ever remain in the minds of those who attended. 56 Z'
